The First-Ever All-Week Trading Competition at the Show, Presented by Apex Trader Funding, WealthCharts, and the Wealth365 Summit
Apex Arena
Biography
Welcome to the Apex Arena, the first all-week trading competition in Wealth365 Summit history, and one of the most exciting events ever brought to the trading community.
The Apex Arena was born when three forces in the trading world came together with one shared belief: traders deserve more than another webinar. They deserve a stage. Apex Trader Funding, one of the world's largest futures proprietary trading evaluation firms, joined with WealthCharts, the eight-time award-winning trading platform, and the Wealth365 Summit, the premier online financial education event, to build something the industry has never seen: a live, week-long competition where real strategy, real discipline, and real consistency get rewarded in front of the entire community.
That word, consistency, sits at the heart of this event, and it comes straight from the top. John Skelton, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Apex Trader Funding, has helped shape the modern prop trading industry, growing Apex from an emerging startup into a global leader serving traders in more than 100 countries and distributing hundreds of millions of dollars in trader payouts. Known for his systems-thinking approach and respected across the futures prop trading world, John has long advocated for one principle: reward consistency, disciplined execution, and long-term success rather than short-term speculation. The Apex Arena is that principle brought to life. Reward the trader, not just the trade.
That is why the Arena is not a winner-take-all sprint. Sixty-plus prizes will be given out every single day of the competition, awarded across different categories and for different reasons, so disciplined traders, consistent traders, and standout single trades all get their moment, and every participant has real chances to win throughout the week. It all builds to a live Friday finale where the champions are crowned in front of the entire Summit. See the Official Rules for full details, eligibility, and how to enter.
Why should you be part of it? Because this is where trading gets fun again. Compete on the award-winning WealthCharts platform, sharpen your skills with strategy sessions from 37x domestic and international real-money trading champion Rob Hoffman throughout the week, watch the leaderboard battles unfold live, and be in the room when the winners are revealed. Whether you are a seasoned prop trader or brand new to competition, the Arena is open to you, and entry through the Wealth365 Summit is free.
One week. One leaderboard. Sixty-plus chances to win every day. A community of traders pushing each other to be better. Step into the Apex Arena.
